A new kind of CTA bus service
from Jeffery Blvd. to Downtown
transitchicago.com/jump
Jump is a new kind of CTA bus service designed to provide a faster, more convenient travel experience. The J14 Jeffery Jump will replace the existing 14 Jeffery Express, to enhance transit service on Chicago’s southeast side. Jump can make your life easier, giving you more time to spend on the things you love.

- Fast, Frequent Service
Jump buses run from early morning to late evening every day of the week, with a bus every 5-8 minutes during rush periods.
- Same Transit Fare
You can ride Jump for the same fare as conventional CTA buses, giving you more bang for the same buck.
- Wider Stop Spacing
Average half-mile spacing between stops increases Jump travel speeds, while local bus service remains at current stops to increase your travel options.
The J14 Jeffery Jump will introduce a number of new features on the bus and throughout the Jeffery Corridor [in north to south order]:
67th to 83rd
Dedicated Bus Lanes: The Jump corridor will be striped and signed for dedicated bus lanes during congested periods (northbound from 7-9am and southbound from 4-6pm).
Jeffery/71st
Commercial Area Showcase Station: Upgraded station area to include unique sidewalk and cross-walk surfaces, and a larger shelter for expanded weather protection.
73rd to 84th
Transit Signal Priority: Traffic signals will be upgraded to trigger an early or extended green light, so buses can get through the intersection more quickly.
Jeffery/Anthony
Queue Jump: A unique traffic signal and bypass lanes will allow buses to advance through an intersection ahead of general traffic.
100th/Paxton
Residential Area Showcase Station: Upgraded station area to include unique sidewalk and crosswalk surfaces that are wider and designed to extend closer towards the bus.
Other Jump Features
Vehicle Enhancements
Jump buses will have unique graphics for easy identification and will be equipped with on-board Bus Tracker displays to show arrival and transfer times at key destinations.
Fewer Stops
Average ˝-mile Jump station spacing will increase travel speeds. The 15 Jeffery Local will continue to serve all local stops, including shared stops at all Jump stations.
